making non_breakable items explode?

[nickp4512]

Im having an issue trying to to get a non-breakable prop_physics entity to explode. Does anyone know how to accomplish this?

For example I know I can explode a breakable crate....but can I explode something like monitor.mdl or just a regular non_explosive barrel?

Place the monitor (or whatever) as a prop_physics, create one or multiple env_explosion, and let it be triggered by an Output from the monitor to OnHealthChange > Explode
For an exact description, watch IchI's exploding canister tutorial here somewhere.
